1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundSurgical therapy of infective endocarditis (IE) involving aortic valves and mitral valves is widespread. However, there are few reports concerning patients with culture-negative endocarditis complicated by the appearance of comorbid valvular perforation and abscess. Therefore, real-time surveillance of changes in cardiac structure and function is critical for timely surgical management, especially in patients who do not respond to medical therapy. CASE SUMMARY: Here, we report an atypical case in a 9-mo-old infant without congenital heart disease but with symptoms of intermittent fever and macular rashes. Physical examination, laboratory tests, and electrocardiograms suggested a diagnosis of IE, although the result of blood cultures was exactly negative. After treatment with antibiotic drugs, the patient got a transient recovery. On the 9

conclusionOur case demonstrated the necessity of serial echocardiography monitoring for possible adverse symptoms of IE in pediatric patients.
